I’m sympathetic to this point of view. I like the “idea” of my V3 cameras. I was encouraged by the release of of the RTSP Beta, but the fact that there has been ZERO feedback from Wyze has led me to rethink my plans.
I’ve just purchased a Amcrest UltraHD 5MP Outdoor POE Camera 2592 x 1944p Bullet IP Security Camera, Outdoor IP67 Waterproof, 103° Viewing Angle, 2.8mm Lens, 98.4ft Night Vision, 5-Megapixel, IP5M-B1186EB-28MM (Black) for testing as my V3 replacement. I event spent $10USD more for black.
Key features:
- IP67
- RTSP, FTP, microSD support
- POE, POE+
- Starlight sensor
- 5MP
If this Amcrest camera is satisfactory, I will redeploy my V3s to less critical areas.
I’ll be watching and hoping for any meaningful response from Wyze. This is a point-in-time decision. New data will allow for new decisions. My purchases have ZERO impct on Wyze’s bottom line. It’s a harsh truth but the collective purchase of all RTSP4Wyze users is insignificant to Wyze’s bottom line.
